The Prison No Place For a Young Woman of Her Calibre--Wo- men's Organization Should Secure Her Release, "Venus" Cote, the sturdy Rim- ouski, Que., lass of twenty-three who was a few days ago sentenced .to a ferm of two years in penitentiary i because she posed as a man, had her hair cut in military style and went as far as donning man's attire and working in the log driving bee for the Chaleur Bay Pulp Company at Restigouche, Is now in the Ports mouth penitentiary women's ward. She was brought here in male attire and the prison authorities did not know with whom they were dealing until they read the commitment. The young 'woman escaped from the jail at Rimouski and was finally located, half-starved, by a sheriff's posse, Indignation is expressed at the treatment accorded this over break- ing an old law which says it is an offence for a woman to don mdle garments, The war has made changes and women are everywhere wearing male attire at work. The general opinion is that the peniten- tiary is no place for "Venus" Cote, who showed bravery and enterprise in helping in a national industry. If the women's organizations of Kingston and other places do not secure her immediate release and give her aid, the Whig will be much surprised. JUSTICE METED OUT TO TWO FIREBUGS Hilton and Robert Green, Bed~ ford Mills, Sentenced to Penitentiary. AND On Wednesday 'the little hamlet of Bedford Mills, near Newboro, had a sensation that will long be remem- thered by the residents of the local- ity. { A fire inquest, capture, trial and conviction of two bad criminals all {in one afternoon is a rare experi- | Shee for a quiet neighborhood, but | that is what actually happened in the little village. Following the burning of the sum- {mer cottages of Messrs. Bilton and Wrathall, of Newboro; Wright, of Brockville, and Asche, of New York, during the week of May 18th-26th, Inspector A. B. Boyd, of the pro- vineial police, visited the scone and quietly secured sufficient evidence to warrant the holding of a fire in- guest. This was held Wednesday and was presided over by Superin- tendent Joseph Rogers, head of the provincial police. AS a result of the clever work of Inspector Boyd, Hilton Green and Robert Green, aged about 40 years, both residents of that locality, were tried and sentenced to Portsmouth penitentiary for terms of ten and two years respectively, the former for arson and the latter on a charge of theft. AS a motive for firing the cottages one of the prisoners is reported to have stated after receiving sentence that the cottags and presence of campers at the lake interfered with his customs of illegal fishing.
